Last time on Seleya:

After a long debate among the village elders Vdon agreed to send two of his people as representatives to Starfleet to plead their case to be relocated back to their home universe.

Vdon and one of the female console members returned with the captain to the shuttle.  No attempts were made to stop their departure and while it was a rough ride

Back into the atmosphere it was uneventful.  As the shuttle passed through the rift sensors went down briefly as the laws of physics changed back to their norm for the crew.

When sensors came back online they showed two vessels in combat with the Seleya.

Captain's Log 11405.11: We made it through the rift with Vdon and his companion only to be confronted by the Seleya being attacked by two ships.

<<<<<<<<< Regrets XII >>>>>>>>>>

MO Lt Storm says:
::Sitting at the back with the CSO who had gotten worse but not told anyone::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Sitting in the command chair, her hands white as the clench the arm rest.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up as the sensor image clears up.::  CO:  I'm picking up two vessels attacking the Seleya.
SO Lane says:
@SO:  Ma'am, I am reading a shuttle coming from the rift.  It appears to be ours.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::At the helm, turning the shuttle onto a direct course for the Seleya, eyes on the location of the two bogeys::
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO:  Take us away from the rift... draw them towards us.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@SO:  Shields are at 75%.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gives a small sigh:: CTO: Configurations?
SO Lt Rose says:
@aOPS:  Try to make contact with the shuttle.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Do we have any indication that they spotted us?
SO Lt Rose says:
@TO:  We need to get the shuttle back aboard.  Got a plan?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Doesn't need to look through the database to find a match.::  CO:  They are similar in design to the pirate vessel we captured when you were kidnapped.  XO:  So far no indications that we've been detected.
aOPS Clark says:
@::Nods:: SO: Yes Lieutenant... COM: Shuttle: Seleya to shuttlecraft, please respond.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Having settled the CSO, moves to the front to join the others.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Huffs:: CTO: Somehow I'm not as surprised as I should be. Set up a rendezvous with the ship and tell them to run.

@ACTION:  The Seleya moves away from the shuttle, drawing the two pirate vessels with them.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO: Understood, will look for somewhere that might help us hide while we redock.  ::Brings up the sensor data for the surrounding area.
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  I hate to drop something else in your lap, but the CSO is in pretty bad shape.  She should start to heal now that we are back in our universe, but I really need to get her to the medical.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@SO:  Nothing I'd like to try with two vessels following us.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Looks wryly at him.::  TO:  That does not help much.  Keep their attention on us for now.
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: Understood. We'll get back to the ship as quickly as we can without being shot at.

@ACTION:  The pirate vessels continue to fire on the Seleya as it moves away.

SO Lt Rose says:
@*Engineering*: Prepare to shift power.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@::Grips his station as the Seleya rocks under weapons fire.::  SO:  Shields down to 55%
MO Lt Storm says:
::Nodding, she moves back to keep out of the way.::
aOPS Clark says:
@::Frowns, checking his communications systems:: SO: No response to hails.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ aOPS:  Try again...
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Are you getting through?

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Spots an area that might help hide them.::  OPS:  Open a channel with the Seleya send them these coordinates.  ::Sends the coordinates to Pandora’s console.::  Tell them to see if they can shake the vessels and meet us there.  Interference should help hide us from their sensors.
SO Lt Rose says:
@TO: Can we out run them?
aOPS Clark says:
@::Tries to hail the shuttle again::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@::Checks over the sensor data.:: SO:  If we jump to max warp we should be able to get ahead of them.  I don't think their engines can match ours.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Glances at Pandora flying the shuttle and moves to answer the hail:: COM: Seleya: Varesh here, go ahead.
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO: Slowly increase warp...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CO, watching him take the hail:: CTO: Those pirates sure got daring since we left.
aOPS Clark says:
@::Puts the call on main viewer, allowing Rose to continue the conversation::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Sighs in relief at the familiar voice.  Stands and steps down to flight.::  COMM: Shuttle: CO:  As you can see, we are in a bit of a pickle.  We are drawing them away from you.  Shields down to 55%.  Otherwise, the ship is still good.  We can out race them, but that leaves you behind.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@::Continues firing on the pursuing vessels.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Transfers the co-ordinates to the ship:: COM: Seleya: Heller found us a spot to confound their sensors so we can board and get out of here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up from the sensors.::  XO:  They must really want the weapon.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Looks at the incoming coordinates.::  TO:  Freefire... do your worse as we appear to flee.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@SO:  Have one of the pirates shields down to 30% other is holding at 80.  ::Hears the comm.::  SO:  I have an idea.  If we launch a full aft spread of quantum torpedoes at our pursuers it might knock them out of warp and disorient them while we backtrack to those cords.
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO:  Got to maximum warp, then turn around and head for those coordinates.
SO Lt Rose says:
@TO:  Go for it.
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Seleya: I heard that plan. See you at the meeting point.
SO Lt Rose says:
@COMM: Shuttle:  Try not to be late.
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO:  Wait for my mark.  ::Looks at Taliesin::
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Seleya: I might stop to pick up some milk. Varesh out.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@SO:  Things made get a bit bumpy from the shockwave but we should be far enough to keep the ship from taking any major damage.  ::Pauses and we waits for the aft tubes to be reloaded.::  Firing in 3, 2, 1 mark.
SO Lt Rose says:
::To no one as comm is cut::  It’s better be chocolate.

CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Take us to the meeting point.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::As Taliesin fires, she orders flight to move it.::

@ACTION:  Torpedoes streak from the Seleya toward the pursuing vessels, reaching their mark swiftly and detonating.  Both ships drop out of warp with one tumbling out of control end over end.  The shockwave hits the Seleya and overloads a number of secondary systems.

SO Lt Rose says:
@::Stepping back toward the command chair she falls more then she sits back down.::  Damage report...
MO Lt Storm says:
::Quietly talks with the CSO, filling her in on what is going on.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods, turning the shuttle onto the new course, heading for the arranged coordinate::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@SO:  Aft shields down to 10%  ::Looks over his sensor data.:: Both vessels dropped out of warp, looks like one might be disabled.
SO Lt Rose says:
@TO:  Good... I just hope the price was not too high.
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO:  Take us to the coordinates the captain sent us.
aOPS Clark says:
@::Grabs the console as the ship rocks from the shockwave's impact:: SO: Damage reports coming in Lieutenant. We have some secondary system damage, repair teams are enroute. Nothing major.

@ACTION:  The ship drops from warp and turns about, heading to the rendezvous site.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Watches the sensors closely as they approach the meeting spot, the sensors becoming more spotty as they get closer, looking for signs of any other vessels.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@aOPS: Well, at least we will return the ship mostly whole to the captain.
aOPS Clark says:
@::Nods at the SO's remark::
SO Lane says:
@SO:  The coordinates we are heading for will cause sensor issues.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gives Vdon and his companion a reassuring smile before checking the sensors::
SO Lt Rose says:
@FCO: Set the ship on automatic as soon as you are unable to pilot on your own as well as dropping to one-quarter impulse power.  As soon as we think we are nearby come to a stop.
SO Lt Rose says:
@TO:  Keep a close eye on those pirate vessels.
SO Lt Rose says:
@aOPS:  Prepare to open shuttle bay door.  Worse comes to worse, beam them aboard.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
@::Nods.::  SO:  Looks like one vessels is turning around to pursue, second still appears to be out of commission.::
aOPS Clark says:
@::Taps the console, opening the shuttlebay doors:: SO: Doors opening.
FCO says:
@::Nearing the coordinates, he drops the ship to quarter impulse.::
SO Lane says:
@SO:  Sensors are a bit fuzzy, but still working.

TO Lt Taliesin says:
@::Stares at the sensor screen.::  SO:  It hard to tell through the interference but looks like one of them has returned to warp and headed this way, eta 10 minutes
FCO says:
@::As they reach the coordinates, bring the ship to a stop.::  SO:  We should be nearby.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Nods and looks over at Taliesin::  TO:  Good... we have time to get them aboard and let them figure out the rest.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns at the sensors:: OPS: Are we there yet?
SO Lt Rose says:
@aOPS:  Contact them... let them know we are here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sees the Seleya approach on sensors.  CO:  Seleya just dropped out of warp and now at a full stop off our starboard side.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles:: CTO: Thank you. OPS: Take us in, I'm feeling homesick.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Continues monitoring his console:: CO, CTO: And not a second too soon, I'm detecting an approaching vessel.
SO Lt Rose says:
@*Engineering*:  We need more power for the shields.

@ ACTION:  The shields go down at the approach of the shuttle.  The shuttle bay doors stand wide open.

ACTION:  The shuttle glides smoothly into the shuttlebay.  Quickly OPS begins shutdown proceedures.

EO Jenkins says:
@*SO*:  Working on it Lt., have to bypass some damaged emitters.
SO Lt Rose says:
*EO*:  Understood.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets up and heads for the hatch:: CTO: Have someone escort our visitors to diplomatic quarters. We're needed on the bridge.
aOPS Clark says:
SO:  The shuttle is aboard.
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: We will meet after the situation is resolved.
SO Lt Rose says:
aOPS:  Good... that is good...
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks over to James and nods to her to take care of it and follows the captain.::
MO Lt Storm says:
CSO:  Looks like we are back.  ::Begins to help her stand::
TO Lt James says:
CTO:  Yes sir.  ::Moves over to Vdon.::  Vdon:  If you will come with me I'll get you settled.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Exits the shuttle:: *SO*: We're heading to the bridge. Get us out of here, heading towards the nearest Federation planet or station.
Vdon says:
::Having remained quiet, he simply nods his head, wondering what his people would be returning too.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
SO:  ETA of the pirate vessel is 2 minutes.
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: You heard him... Take us out.
SO Lt Rose says:
TO: Too close for comfort.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Leads the bridge officers to the nearest turbolift:: MO: Let me know on Ix's progress when this is over.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Nods as her brother heads out ahead of them.::
FCO says:
::With a nod, he pulls up the maps and sets coordinates for the nearest federation planet.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Enters the TL, ordering it to the bridge::

ACTION:  The pirate vessel turns and begins to pursue the Seleya on its new course.

MO Lt Storm says:
::Soon has the CSO in medical where a team is there waiting for them.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Exits onto the bridge, patting the bulkhead as he passes, murmuring something under his breath:: SO: Report. ::Walks down to his chair::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO: They are turning to follow but I don't think they'll be able to catch us at least not before we make it to the planet.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Follows the CO onto the bridge, heading over to Clark to relieve him::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves over to the tactical station taking Taliesin's spot who moves over to the secondary station.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Having stood as the lift doors open, she moves slightly away from the chair::  CO: Shields down to ten percent.  A few secondary systems were off line from a blast we sent out that has one pirate ship down.  One is still following us.  We are heading for the nearest federation planet.  It is primarily a mining planet.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Sits at the console, checking system status before setting in properly::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks over the station and sees a change in the following vessel.::  CO:  Looks like our pursuer figured out he won't intercept us before we reach there,  they are turning around heading back to the other ship.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: CTO: That is good news. As much as I would love to take them out completely, we have other business that needs our attention.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Personally annoyed::  CO:  Pity... I am really past tired with dealing with them.  ::Nods to him and the XO before taking over science::  Good to have you all back aboard.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over at Heller with a smile and a shake of her head.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Get Starfleet Command online, I need to arrange our visitors' passage to plead their case.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods, opening a channel to SFC:: CO: Channel open, captain.
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: I don't know if we can take them out, so prudence over prejudice.
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Thank you Commander, put that through to my ready room.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Gets the CSO steady, she sends a note to the captain.::
